Re: Converting 12v to 24v

Issac,
The clutch you linked to specifically discusses the attraction of an armature plate by the magnetic field set up when the field coil is energized. It attracts the armature to a frictional coupling with the driver mechanism. This is exactly what an electric solenoid actuator is and therefore must conform to the solenoid rule, 10 watts @ 12 volts continuous. This is much different than an eddy current clutch where no parts move and no friction is used in the transfer of power.
